Musings and brainwaves from the Coffee Roaster
Hello to you All! it’s been a little while since I last wrote, so It’s definitley time to catch you all up on the action here at Mountain Phoenix Coffee Roasters.
Simply put, I have been very, very, very, busy adding new accounts and sourcing some great cofffee for the summer! As far as new accounts, you can now find our coffee in Salida at the Twisted Cork, Amicas pizza, as well as The Butchers Table, Me Gusta, Sacred Ground Coffee, and of course, The Country Bounty, our very first account!
Out of Salida, we have added coffee service and exclusive bins at Venture Foods in Divide, Colorado, as well as coffee service at the Cripple Creek location, with Pueblo coming soon! Very exciting stuff! The coffee installations went smooth, and we absolutley loved the staff at both places.
From The Cupping Table:
All our coffees are still cupping out great (of course), but I must admit, I have some favorites right now that are simply some of the best coffees you can by anywhere!
1.Mocca Java
2. Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley
3. Papua New Guinea
All three are AMAZING coffees right now, and it would be a crime if you miss an opportunity to try one! Currently, I am working on a roast profile for a new Organic Santa Teresa El Salvador coffee, that should be online soon.
At Sacred Ground Coffee, we have also welcomed our newest employee, Jim, who other than forgetting he worked the other day, has been a great joy and addition at the shop. He perfectly compliments Dee, our omni-present general of all things shop related. Even our operations chief and account guru has upped his game. Why just the other day, I gave him a package to mail, and he ALMOST took it to the post office before running out of time and giving it back to me! Ha! ha! Seriously, all things have been running super smooth, and it has been such a joy to come into work with Al, Dee and Jim.
That’s about it for now. Of course with summer in full swing, much of my time has also been moved to the tennis court, my other addiction after coffee!
